Abstract

In this paper, the cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical behaviors of μ-oxamido Copper(Ⅱ) Binuclear Complex (deCu) in PBS were studied. Cyclic voltammograms of this complex in PBS(pH=9)exhibited two reductive peaks( Epc1 =-0.25 V, Epc2 = -0.50 V) at hanging mercury drop electrode(HMDE), peaks at -0.50 V and -0.25 V corresponded to the reduction of ligand and copper(Ⅱ) complex, respectively. The spectroelectrochimical experiments showed that there was a new absorption band at 440 nm, and the absorption peaks at 270 nm, 280 nm red shifted to 300 nm, 310 nm under potential of -0.75 V. It was meant that the Cu(Ⅱ) turned into low valent copper, simultaneously, a new large coupling system occurred. The redox reaction of film was measured two electrons and two protons transition process by cyclic voltammetry. Especially the deCu modified electrode showed a good catalytic ability to cysteine, L-Tryptophan as well as L-Proline.
